Cable getting the jump?
URCA and Cable Bahamas are going at each other in the media on CBL’s tower construction exercise, but does anyone else care?
What are the facts?

A money-saving tip
What’s with all the excessive travelling of some of our politicians? In many cases just to have a conversation? It’s 2015! Have they ever heard of Skype? It’s a lot cheaper than flying and they can even look into the face of the person they are speaking with!
Have we lost our pride?
Every time I read the online paper, there are countless entries of shots fired, someone clinging onto life and the ever-rising murder count. I read articles stating that other countries have issued advisories to tourists travelling to our shores.
Bahamians love to party
Even a deaf and blind person if they knew The Bahamas would have understood that the Carnival would be an enormous success – hey Bahamians love to party.
